1.Capitalist- private ownership ,labor ,personal profit and investment .

3.Mixed

2.How to Produce?
3.For Whom to produce?
The Means of production are owned and handled by private sector as
well as govt.

Characteristics

4.Govt Will interfere in industry that produce
unsafe goods such as weapons,guns,sword.
5.Govt help private sector on non-profitable
projects
 i.e. Govt provides House , Transportation ,
Telecommunication.
Advantage of Mixed Economy
1.Competititon keeps prices low.
2.Consumer choice
3.Private sector encouraged for profits by
providing services.
4.Public Sector seeks to avoid regional
inequalities, provides large employment
opportunities and often its price policy is guided
by considerations of economic welfare rather
than by profit motive.
Disadvantages of mixed Economy
1.Heavy Tax
Heavy tax reduces incentives to work hard and make profit.
2.Less efficient than private sector
public sector efficiency is lacking and corruption, discrimination and red-
tapism are the evils spread in the public sector.
3.Concentration of wealth in few hands
Although it is said that the mixed sector minimizes economic concentration
but in practice the private-entrepreneurs take the advantage of government
policy and accumulate wealth since both the private and public sectors co-
exist, the government will not be in a position to impose any stringent steps
to prevent economic concentration.
4.Own Market
business men are needed to find their own market for products.
Disadvantages
5. Low inflow of Foreign Capital:
Because of the government policy and the fear of nationalisation there is
less possibility of inflow of foreign capital which is very essential of the
development of private sector.
6. Fear of Nationalisation:
The private entrepreneurs are much worried about the government policy to
nationalise private enterprises in certain situations.
7. Presence of Imbalance in the Economy:
The mixed economy cannot provide faster development as the government
simply wants to maintain a balance between the private and public sectors.
The policies of the government are not so clear or it facilitates to give any
direction with the result, there exists non-clarity of objectives and presence
of imbalance in the economy.
Conclusion
->defects of the mixed economy seen above
are not so acute that they cannot be overcome.
->Given efficient and honest administrative
machinery, the defects of the public sector can
be removed.
-> The private sector can be made to work
more efficiently by proper control and
direction.
->By adopting monetary and physical control
measures, economic fluctuations can be
eliminated.
Thank You!
